Fans cried for him and now United's star is back to take his throne

A couple of weeks ago the atmosphere around the Manchester United fans was buzzing as they were on a good run of form that saw them pick up all available points in their fixtures. Erik Ten Hag has finally found a way to reignite the passion within the fanbase.

The confidence was backed by the team Ten Hag has set up and they had consistently delivered, with a well-drilled combative center-back pairing of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez to guard the line as David De Gea remained the safe hands at the back.

They were left in shock and worried after their 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea. The concern was much for the result but for one of their most important players, who had picked up an injury during the game and was subsequently subbed off.

Raphael was shortly after ruled out for the rest of United's game before the World Cup, with scares that he could miss the World Cup with France. But he did make a quick recovery in time for the Mundial in Qatar and has also been confirmed to be fit enough to play for the current world champions. 

WHEN WILL VARANE PLAY AGAIN?

Although he has been resumed full training a while back, the French man is yet to play any game at the moment but recent reports confirm that he is set to play his first competitive game since he picked up the injury. Varane has always been a key part of the Les Bleus squad and captained them on several occasions.
